Deep in the tranquil heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Sunlight filtered through the lush foliage, scattering flecks of light across the ground. The fragrance of primeval forest filled the air, and ripples spread across a crystal-clear pond nearby.
Di Tian knitted his brows, apparently pondering something. After a long silence, he finally chose his words carefully. "Master, are you really going to sign a contract with that boy just like that? He may be worth his weight in gold among humans, but how could he possibly be worthy of your status? Please reconsider, Master!"
"Exactly, Master. If you sign a contract with him, won't that put all of us a head beneath him for no reason? A wet-behind-the-ears brat like that doesn't deserve..." For once, Xiong Jun sided with Di Tian, scratching his bald head helplessly and spreading his hands.
The surroundings were exceptionally quiet, but almost every being in the Star Dou Great Forest worthy of being called a ferocious beast had gathered there, along with one additional, graceful figure in pale purple.
"I have my own considerations in this matter." The Silver Dragon King's lingering voice rose from the bottom of the lake.
Even her draconic voice carried an oppressive might, making everyone's heart shudder.
"That child has always possessed a pure heart. He has attracted a demigod's soul fragment, the two great monarchs of the Far North, and that fat worm. Now, even the Auspicious Beast is utterly enchanted by him. Personal charm alone cannot explain this. There is another interpretation... Humanity is the spiritual essence of all living things, and there is such a thing as heavenly destiny," the Silver Dragon King said calmly.
"The Auspicious Beast?!" Di Tian's mouth twitched, and his fists instantly clenched.
Even the space around him seemed to distort.
